LordSchmee for Wentworth Newton
Open to any voice range.
Wentworth Newton had everything. A loving family, personal tutor, beautiful home. Anything Wentworth desired, it was his. Until the day his father was framed for a crime he didn't commit. His father was publicly executed and Wentworth and his mother were banished to the slums with no money or possessions to call their own.
Wentworth was forced to learn how to survive on his own after losing his mother shortly after banishment. These skills were put to "good" use once he became an adult. Wentworth finds corrupt city dweller and kills them. He takes their riches and divides it amongst the other slum dwellers so they can afford food and medicine. (Basically an extreme version of Robin Hood)
Wentworth is actually extremely kindhearted and passionate despite the world showing him no kindness in return. He's a big goofball and loves joking around with friends. Though, he does have a short-temper and if someone crosses Wentworth, he will hold a grudge until his dying day.
(Teasing)
Is that so? I apologize if the slums are not up to your standards, Lord* Solomon. Perhaps, we should continue our discussion somewhere more to your liking? High City, perhaps? Or how about the Tower of the Royals?
*Ren Solomon isn't actually a "Lord". Wentworth is calling him this to emphasize how haughty Ren is acting in this scenario.
(Uncertain)
Do… do you think something happens to us after we die?
(Somber)
After my father died, my mother kept telling me that he was watching over us from above. It used to comfort me, but, now? I can’t help but wonder if they look down on me and are proud of who I have become.
(He gets a little bit choked up)
Or do they look down from the stars and feel disappointment every time I…
(Annoyed)
By people, I assume you are referring to city dwellers because slum’ers know exactly who I am. They see me just fine.
*Frustrated growl*
(Regretful/Disappointed. He has suddenly realized that spending time with this person was a bad idea)
Maybe you should head back to the city? I’m sure your kind are probably missing you. There’s still another hour or so until the Shadowing so you might be able to catch the tail end of your grand party.
You have a great voice and emote very well, LordSchmee. It's totally fine to alter the script a bit if it feels more natural for you that way. I was wondering what you used to record. There's a bit of a reverb. Almost like a slight echo. Other than that, I think you did a fantastic job.
Hi Jenna, thank you so much for your response! In truth, I've only just started on this journey and with covid my funds are limited, so I'm sad to say I'm utilising my Huawei Nova 5T microphone. I do believe I can find some ways to make it sound better (correct distance, static placement, smaller room, perhaps a different software?). At any rate, I really appreciate your feedback!
That is absolutely understandable! Honestly, your audio isn't too bad. I ran it through Audacity, which is a free program you can download, and did a bit of noise reduction on it. Here's the treated audio if you wanted to hear what Audacity can do: https://soundcloud.com/jenna-jay-202595676/lordschmee-treated-audio/s-TtviswiQErx I think if you set up your Huawei Nova 5T on a proper stand in a smaller room you could get some really sharp audio. But I'd say definitely check out Audacity if you have access to a computer :)
Thank you! I'll give Audacity a look, and try to find a better place to set up, too.
